Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: Frühverrentung bei Babyboomern belastet Rentensystem Rund 900.000 Menschen aus den geburtenstarken Jahrgängen der Babyboomer erhielten Ende 2023 eine gesetzliche Altersrente, obwohl sie das reguläre Renteneintrittsalter noch nicht erreicht hatten. Das geht aus einer neuen IW-Analyse hervor. Insgesamt beziehen bereits 4,5 Mio. Babyboomer eine Altersrente. Die Frühverrentung belastet das Rentensystem – und zeigt, dass Anreize für einen späteren Renteneintritt bislang kaum Wirkung zeigen. ASCORE aktualisiert Scoring für PHV, Diensthaftpflicht und Cyber ASCORE Analyse hat die Scoring-Ergebnisse 2025 für die Private Haftpflicht-, Diensthaftpflicht- und Cyberversicherung veröffentlicht. Neue Kriterien und angepasste Benchmarks berücksichtigen aktuelle Markttrends. In der Privathaftpflicht erreichten nur 26 Familien- und 31 Single-Tarife die Höchstwertung. Im Bereich Cyber schaffte es lediglich ein Tarif auf sechs Kompasse. Auch die Diensthaftpflicht wurde um neue Kriterien wie eine Innovationsklausel erweitert. Managerhaftung: Cyberrisiken bleiben Top-Thema für Führungskräfte Cyberangriffe und Datenverluste stellen laut aktueller D&O-Studie von Willis und Clyde & Co. die größten Haftungsrisiken für Manager dar. In Deutschland sehen 88 % der Führungskräfte Cyberattacken als Top-Risiko – doch nur 17 % geben an, dass Risikomanagement unter den drei wichtigsten Themen ihres Boards rangiert. Neben Cyber zählen auch Gesundheit, Arbeitssicherheit und regulatorische Risiken zu den größten D&O-Herausforderungen. Generali und Laureus: Neue Partnerschaft für mehr Chancengleichheit durch Sport Die Generali Deutschland und die Stiftung Laureus Sport for Good kooperieren künftig im Rahmen des „Ökosystem Sport“, um benachteiligte Kinder und Jugendliche durch Sport zu fördern. Im Fokus stehen soziale Sportprojekte zur Inklusion, Bildung und Gesundheit. Mit der Partnerschaft baut Generali ihr gesellschaftliches Engagement weiter aus und verbindet ihre Sponsoringstrategie mit konkreter sozialer Wirkung. Ziel ist es, durch gemeinsame Programme neue Förderregionen zu erschließen und bestehende Projekte nachhaltig zu stärken. VGH mit Wachstum in allen Sparten – Lebensversicherung legt besonders zu Die VGH Versicherungen melden für 2024 einen Anstieg der Beitragseinnahmen auf 2,94 Mrd. EUR (+4,3 %). Besonders deutlich legte die Lebensversicherung zu: Das Neugeschäft mit laufenden Beiträgen wuchs um 34,2 % – entgegen dem Marktrend. Die Wohngebäudeschäden blieben 2024 moderat, das Eigenkapital der Gruppe wurde um 131 Mio. EUR gestärkt. Auch in der privaten Krankenversicherung konnte die VGH über Marktniveau zulegen. Für 2025 kündigt das Unternehmen neue Produkte wie eine betriebliche Krankenversicherung an. Fünf Tierseuchen gleichzeitig – VTV meldet Rekordschäden Die Vereinigte Tierversicherung (VTV) verzeichnete 2024 mit 96 Mio. EUR das teuerste Schadenjahr ihrer Geschichte – vor allem durch Tierseuchen wie Blauzungenkrankheit, Afrikanische Schweinepest und Vogelgrippe. Für 2025 wurde erstmals der gleichzeitige Ausbruch von fünf Tierseuchen in Deutschland registriert. Besonders betroffen: Wiederkäuer in NRW, Schleswig-Holstein und Rheinland-Pfalz. Eine staatliche Entschädigung gibt es nicht – Versicherungsschutz ist damit wichtiger denn je. Gleichzeitig meldet das Statistische Bundesamt einen Preisanstieg von +9,8 % für tierische Erzeugnisse gegenüber dem Vorjahr – ein Indiz für knapper werdendes Angebot und steigenden wirtschaftlichen Druck auf Tierhalter.

The Finance Minister says a move to require wool carpets in state housing makes financial sense. Nicola Willis has announced a change to Kainga Ora's supplier agreement that will see it re-open its previously nylon-only carpet tender process. From the start of next month, all public entities will also be required to use woollen fibres where practical and appropriate. Willis told Mike Hosking officials have told her it makes sense for Kainga Ora to make this change. She says it's cost-neutral, and it performs well across a number of other dimensions. Nicola Willis says the Reserve Bank should never be exempt from cost-cutting across the public sector. Newly released documents show Adrian Orr's abrupt resignation as Governor came after he was denied the Budget allocation he was seeking. The Finance Minister says the central bank still has the funding it requires to do its statutory duties. She told Hosking the Reserve Bank can't operate as a "gilded palace" – it needs to be fiscally responsible, like all other government departments. Willis says any idea that the Reserve Bank doesn't need to abide by the same funding constraints as other Government agencies is wrong.

*Note: This is the Free Content version of my interview with Veronica French. To access the entire episode, please consider becoming a Tier 2 'Groves of Orpheus' member on Patreon, or you can purchase this episode for a one-time fee. My guest this month is Veronica French. Veronica has an MA in Religious Studies from the University of Erfurt, Germany. She specializes in the study of modern shamanism, anthropology of religion and gender studies. Her master's thesis explored how modern shamans living in Germany define a “shaman way” and their turning point or crisis, which informs their “shamanic journey.” Her undergraduate work was in medical anthropology with a focus on shamanic techniques and Chinese 5 Element, in which she explored the scholar/practitioner position. She presented previously at the 8th Biannual Conference of the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism (ESSWE) with the paper “Performative Strategies of Creative Esotericism in 19th Century Jewish Communities” (Cork, Ireland, 2022); XXXI International Summer School on Religion Women and Religions with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Empowerment and Green Religion: Contemporary Shamanic Practice in Germany” (San Gimignano, Italy, 2024); and the International Theosophical History Conference 2024 with the paper “Modern Shamanism, Theosophy and Ecological Spirituality: Connecting Nature Spiritualities” (Ascona, Switzerland, 2024). Veronica also presented at three seminars at the University of Erfurt: “Initial Shamanic Interviews” University of Erfurt, Master's Thesis Colloquium (2023); “Green Religion and Indigeneity in Popular Media,”University of Erfurt, Green Religion? Answers to Climate Change from the Perspective of Religious Studies (2023); and “Ethnographic Work of Shamanic Practice in Eastern Germany,” University of Erfurt, Master's Writing Seminar (2023).In this discussion, Veronica shares her background and inspiration for her research into modern shamanism. We talk a bit about the terms shamanism and animism, as these are somewhat contested within academia, and Veronica shares how she is using these terms in her work. She explains what questions she was asking at the outset of her project, and also the surprising additions that arose once she started interviewing her participants. Veronica also notes the interesting data that she gathered regarding topics such as gender, identity, “lived religion,” and ecology. As Veronica has her own experience within the concept known as a the holistic milieu (referring to a broad and diverse spiritual landscape that encompasses various New Age and alternative spiritual practices; often contrasted with traditional religious institutions, as it focuses on personal spirituality, self-development, and holistic well-being rather than formal doctrines or organized worship), she found she was able to relate well to the experiences of her participants, and this aspect has led her to consider continuing her research using the method known as autoethnography. This is a qualitative research method that combines autobiographical storytelling with ethnographic analysis. It allows researchers to use their personal experiences to explore and critique cultural beliefs, practices, and social phenomena. Veronica talks about other scholars in the field who have been using this method, and how it is becoming more accepted within academia. If anyone has any questions or comments for Veronica, please post them here or contact me via email and I can pass these on to her. She welcomes further feedback and discussion! Veronica was also very kind to share some references for futher reading; please see this below. PROGRAM NOTESReferences:Olivia Cejan: "Arts and Crafts Divine" is her dissertation utilizing autoethnography and pedagogy to write about a secret society group. Talk at Copenhagen Conference:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4g2qvGcy5pY&t=524sCorrine Sombrun: -Her institute: https://trancescience.org/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oDs10hUy6ETrailer to her movie; English subtitlesTed Talk:English subtitleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym0kIECFi0Uhttps://amara.org/videos/Tcvokh51yb2Y/en/1543652/?tab=revisionsAnother interview with English (Google)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Syy4MTHAfF4 Alice Ahern: Phd Cork Ireland, studying shamanism and pop culture:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCCeV7MLtFcYoutube talk:  "The Reclamation of Feminine Wisdom in the Irish Neo-Shamanic Milieu" Traditional Religions view on Nature Religions:https://fore.yale.edu/Event-Listings/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Conference-Series/Religions-World-and-Ecology-Archivehttps://fore.yale.edu/sites/default/files/files/annual_review_environment.pdfBibliography :Eliade, Mircea.

Call me superficial, but to watch the Reserve Bank heavyweights lined up, as I did Wednesday post their cash rate decision, I did not see dynamism. These people outwardly do not fill you with any sense of excitement. The Reserve Bank is in a spot and, as a result, so are we as a country. A couple of semi-interesting things happened and also one very interesting thing. They voted 5 to 1 to cut. They don't vote that often. They also offered alternative scenarios, which they haven't done for five years. Alternative scenarios are not a good sign. If you have enough of them, you are literally making stuff up. Anyone can drum up alternative scenarios. What I want to hear more of from experts is what is actually going on. The important stuff is they have no bias on further cuts. A lot of people thought we would get a cut yesterday, followed by one, possibly two, more. The so-called "neutral rate", that's the cash rate settling at 2.75% or 2.5% – that now seems to be off the table. Why? They argue inflation, which is what drives them. That's their mandate. The trouble with that is inflation is only just in the band. It's heading more towards the top of the band and here is the really big part – growth, or large dollops of growth, are not driving this inflation. We are barely growing, if growing at all. Yet inflation is still a thing. That's not good for an economy and it's not good for the Government. The Government, namely Willis and Luxon, leap, and have leapt, on each announcement talking about the money coming back into the economy as the interest rates drop. If the bank isn't cutting, then rates aren't dropping, and we aren't spending or feeling remotely bullish. The Reserve Bank doesn't care that much because they are fixated on inflation, whether it's driven by factors beyond our control —like insurance, shipping or councils— or growth. Yes, we had growth in Q1. It was quite good growth too. The live GDP tracker has Q2 up a bit, but not much. But it has annual numbers negative and inflation trending up. What we need is help. We are in a quagmire we need to extricate ourselves from. The Reserve Bank doesn't look like they are that interested. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From cringe-worthy one-liners to low-rent shootouts, we dig into the best (or least bad) scenes, dialogue, and performances to see if there's any redeeming spark. Is this worth a spot on your watchlist, or should you dodge this Die Hard-in-a-hick-town dud? Join us for our no-holds-barred verdict!

On this episode I'm joined by Luke Willis Thompson as we discuss his newly commissioned work presented for 16 edition of the Sharjah Biennial, elucidated through the curatorial theme, to carry. Asking questions such as what does it mean to carry a home, a history, a language, a legacy, and a lineage.Luke Willis Thompson is a New Zealand artist of Fijian and European descent, currently working primarily in film and across performance, installation and sculpture to tackle traumatic histories of class, racial and social inequality, institutional violence, colonialism and forced migration. In this episode, Luke discusses his newly commissioned film, Whakamoemoeā. Set in 2040, it's a fictional state broadcast, where a woman delivering a monologue announces the successful transition of New Zealand from a liberal democracy to an Indigenous governance model. Thompson reflects on the collaborative nature of the project, and the importance of cultural practices, such as following Tikanga, during the production process, which involved a large team working together harmoniously. He also affirms the collective effort behind the project, which serves as a model for the political future he envisions, emphasizing trust and collaboration throughout the creative process.-------------------------------------------------------------------- WHERE YOU CAN FOLLOW ME AND SUBSCRIBE Website - Sign up for my newsletter https://lightworkco.com/ Instagram - Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sadeolo/https://www.instagram.com/lightworkcompany/ YouTube - Subscribe to my YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/@lightworkco

In episode 490 professor M. Willis Monroe joins the podcast to discuss the history of astrology in ancient Mesopotamia. Willis is a historian of the ancient Near East and scholar of Cuneiform Studies with a focus on the science and scholarship of first millennium Mesopotamia, and he did his doctoral thesis on the use of zodiacal subdivisions in cuneiform sources. During the course of the episode we give an overview of the origins of western astrology in ancient Mesopotamia, starting with the earliest surviving sources around 2000 BCE, and then working our way forward until cuneiform writing died out around the 1st century CE. We end up discussing the earliest evidence for astrology in eclipse omens from the 2nd millennium BCE, the high point of state supported astrology under the Neo-Assyrian kings in the 7th century BCE, and eventually the development of the zodiac and natal astrology in the 5th century BCE.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis talks to Mike Hosking about the week's big issues after the budget announcement last week. Health New Zealand's aiming to perform more than 30-thousand elective surgeries by June 2026 by outsourcing more straightforward cases to private hospitals. Willis says getting doctors and specialists on longer term contracts will get more people the care they need sooner. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon last week announced his intention to raise the retirement age. Willis says no discussions have taken place yet, but says the Government would need to be upfront with their plans. "At some point, a future government is either going to have to slap a lot more tax on people or it's going to have to front up to whether the settings can be tweaked a little bit," she says.

Willis sighted Costco the other day when she once again reminded us she is back to business on the supermarkets and looking to break them up, or twist their arms, or regulate them where it hurts, so we can all feel so much better about the price of a trolley full of goods. What she knew, she said, was competition is good for prices. As I tried to say, that is school cert economics and, although partially right, isn't the whole answer. Butter at Costco is $10 per kilo. Elsewhere you can pay $10 and get half that. In that very example is part of the story - it costs different amounts all over the place on any given day, depending on where you go, or when you go. It's a bit like petrol. Also a bit like petrol, the end price is driven by international pricing. We pay international prices because we make the stuff and sell it. Its how we make a living and we should be celebrating this. If farmers weren't doing so well we would be truly stuffed. Costco, because they are large, as in globally large, buy more of anything than anyone here locally. Because of that their price per unit drops and their margins are smaller. Scale counts Also, as the consumers group pointed out, it's a loss-leader for Costco. In other words they are losing money on every pack they sell. Why? Because it gets you in the store to buy other stuff. Remember, at Costco you have already paid a membership fee to be there. So their butter isn't really $10 per kilo. They are eating the difference, as Trump would say, in the hope you buy stuff in aisle eight. Lots of supermarkets run loss leaders. They also put chocolate biscuits at eye line to tempt you. It's a clever business. But Costco and their butter is not a real economic equation. And there is no magic in their pricing, the way Nicola seems to think there is.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In September of 2019, after gaining weight when she stopped a previous method that wasn't working for her any longer, she discovered Gin's podcast, started intermittent fasting, and read Gin's books Fast Feast Repeat and Delay, Don't Deny. Even though she had heard about IF from a friend who lost weight using the 5:2 approach, Natalie favored the daily eating window approach and found immense satisfaction and success, losing around 30 pounds in a year and experiencing various health benefits.Natalie's preferred routine typically involves a four-hour eating window, though she explains that she moves her eating window around as necessary with her schedule. The conversation weaves through Natalie's past struggles with body image and a tumultuous relationship with food that started in her teenage years. She describes how joining Herbalife in 2014 set her on a positive path of health and wellness, although it became stressful with time. Transitioning to intermittent fasting brought a more natural and liberating approach to weight management for her. Natalie talks about the positive changes she noticed, such as improved mental focus, reduced joint pain, and overall better well-being. Growing her own food in an allotment has helped her pivot to a diet rich in vegetables and real foods.In sharing her non-scale victories, Natalie highlights rapid hair growth, improved dental health, and increased confidence. Her parting advice to newcomers is to embrace black coffee, exercise kindness towards oneself, and understand that intermittent fasting is a lifelong journey filled with seasons of change. Every day is a new opportunity to start fresh and find one's sweet spot in this sustainable lifestyle.Get Gin's books at: https://www.ginstephens.com/get-the-books.html. Good news!
